Hello, I run Debian unstable and I also happen to own a "Logitech Elite Keyboard". The howtos that I've found on google showed me that to make the keys on the upper part of the keyboard to work, I have to modify three files in /usr/share/x11/xkb -- namely symbols.dir symbols/inet and rules/base . I don't get all the keys working that way but I can still manage to use most of them. Now, my problem is that every time the package xkb-data is upgraded, it overwrites those three files without verifying if they were modified. And it is beginning to be annoying to have to restore the files from my backups, manually each time so that I don't break modifications the maintainers could have made to them. So, first, would you know of a way to get my keyboard working for all users on the computer with a less drastic modification? And if not, then second, is it possible to make those files be config files so that it checks for differences when the package gets upgraded? This way I could be aware that the files are getting changed and I could check a diff to see if anything is new at all. Thanks p.s.: if you need more details on the system, package versions or the changes I do in the files, I will be glad to provide the information you need. -- Gabriel Filion
